"Geez, what is it with dresses and the zippers?" I mumbled as I managed to get the zipper to reach the top despite it being on the back of the dress. I sigh happily, it only took me ten minutes to get the damn thing up and I couldn't exactly call Reese in to help me. I pull the dress down by the hem and straighten it down before going to look in the mirror.

It's my first date with Gerard today and to say I was nervous was an understatement. I don't understand why, though. I had spent the majority of my life with this boy, being together for over a month and I was nervous about one date? Maybe it's because it's the first one. Gerard has been going on about how he wants to make this the perfect first date and I could see he had thought hard about it. When my eyesight was healing, I saw him writing stuff down and mumbling to himself when he thought I wasn't paying attention. Since he has gone to so much thought for me, I've decided to do something for him.

I have decided to wear the dress Elena had gotten me for my birthday. I hadn't even taken it out of the box. It wasn't that I wasn't grateful for the gift, I just don't wear dresses. I don't even own a skirt because for the simple fact; I don't like them. I have nothing against them but I just don't like them. Gerard had always said he would love to see me in a dress since, for as long as we've known each other, he has never seen me in one. The last time I wore a dress was...I'm pretty sure Mom picked it out. I just hope he likes it.

The dress fitted my body, looking nice. I wonder how Elena knew my size; probably Gerard got an idea or something. My necklace rested on my neck like it always did. I hardly take it off unless to shower or sleep. My hair was hung down as Gerard said he preferred it like that. My appearance tonight was basically everything Gerard said he like seeing me in. Since he has put much thought into this date, I wanted to put an effort in as well.

One problem; I don't own any shoes other than converse so I'm afraid Gerard will have to deal with that.

"Alright, here goes nothing," I say to myself, picking up my phone and punching in Gerard's number.

"Hello?" Came his voice. He sounded tired.

"Hey, it's me," I say with a slight smile.

"Oh, hey. I guess it's ruined huh?" What was ruined?

"What is ruined?"

"Haven't you looked outside?" On that, I went over to my window and pulled back the curtain to be greeted with a sheet of white on my window. I squint my eyes to get a better look and saw snow blazing outside. What the hell?

"How the hell..." I say to the phone.

"It's a blizzard. They don't think it will die down until tomorrow and nobody should go outside." My heart fell as I heard him. We wouldn't be able to go on our date if there was a blizzard raging. I was really looking forward to it...and I got dolled up for nothing!

"This sucks," I mutter.

"...Could you come over?"

"What? You said that no one was to go outside."

"You're a fast runner and it's only next door. Please? I want to see you." I sigh a little, knowing I was going to give into his wish despite the fact it could leave me numb.

"Alright, I'll be there in a few."

"Great, just come in. I'll unlock the door for quickness."

"Alright, see you in a few."

"Bye." I hung up the phone and tossed it into my bag before grabbing it, heading out of my room and down the stairs.

"As crazy as this sounds, I'm going out!" I call into the house as I took my coat that Ray got me for my birthday from the closet, putting it on and pulling the hood up.

"What! Have you not seen outside?" Grams called back.

"Yes I have. I'm just going to Gerard's!" I shouted back.

"Aw, so cute!" Reese said from the living room.

"Don't encourage her! Just be careful and run!" Grams called out again.

"Alright, I've got my phone just incase. Bye!" I finish before opening the door and stepping out.

"Holy mother of god!" I say as I felt the cold hit me as I closed the door behind me. I've just been outside for a second and already I'm feeling cold to the bone. I hug my coat close to me and run across to the next house. I can barely keep my eyes open with the snow beating against my face and my legs moving as it felt like ice was forming around the bone.

As soon as I reached Gerard's door, I yanked it open and dived it, closing it quickly and locking the door.

I sigh in relief as I pull my hood down and stand in the hall for a moment, trying to get the feeling back in my legs.

"Andy, is that you?" Gerard called from somewhere in the house. I shrugged off my coat and shook it to rid it of snow.

"No, it's the Easter bunny that is lost because of this freaking blizzard!" I shouted, hanging up my coat and walking deeper into the hall. Gerard appeared from the living room, his smile dropping as his mouth hung open.

"What?" I ask. Gerard tried to find words but merely motioned at me. I looked down at myself, seeing I was still dressed in my dress.

"Is it ugly?" I ask, slightly worried he thought that. He chuckled softly and shook his head.

"No, you look absolutely beautiful. It's just a shock to see you in a dress," He said, coming closer to me. He seemed in a daze as he stared at me, looking at the dress.

"Yeah, well, I wanted to do something for our first date so I decided to wear the dress. Too bad for the weather though."

"Well, that's part of the reason I called you over." Gerard took my hand in his and led me into the living room.

"What do you mean..." I trailed off as we entered the living room. Things were moved about so there was a large space in the centre. In the space was a large blanket set out with an assortment of food and drinks, with a basket lying at the side. I was speechless, not knowing what to say or what was going on so I look to Gerard for answers. He smiled shyly as a small blush formed around his cheeks.

"For our first date, I planned on taking you on a picnic in the park. I know it's Winter and everything but it's your favourite season and you love snow so I just thought-" I cut him off as I kissed his lips, lingering for a moment before parting from him.

"Gee, I love it. It's probably one of your better ideas," I laugh a little. Gerard moved forward and sat down on the blanket, motioning for me to do the same. I moved forward but stopped for a moment beside him, thinking about how I was going to do this.

"What's up?" Gerard asked. I frown a little, embarrassed.

"I...don't know how to sit down in this thing." Instead of bursting out laughing, Gerard answered my inner question.

"Just clutch your dress to the back of your legs and sit." I did so and managed to sit properly on the blanket. I'm proud of myself so far. Gerard moved closer to me so our shoulders were touching.

"By the way, love the shoes," Gerard chuckled as he saw my converse.

"Hey, you got a dress so be happy with that. You know I don't own any other shoes," I say.

"Oh, I am happy to finally see you in a dress after...twelve years," Gerard grinned. I narrowed my eyes at him, smiling slightly.

"So, feel privileged that you are the only one to see in me in a dress."

"I feel privileged alright so what do you want?"

"What kind of sandwiches are there?"

"Um, I made-"

"You made?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and slight crooked smile. Gerard stuck his tongue out.

"Yes, made. I can cook too, you know."

"Hardly call sandwich making cooking," I say with a laugh, resulting in him shoving me slightly.

"Shut up! Now, we have chicken, ham, peanut butter and jelly..."

"Smooth and grape?" I asked, knowing he knew what I meant. I don't think I've let him finish a proper sentence much.

"Of course. What do you take me for?"

"Alright, I'll have one of them." Gerard reached over to fetch me one, handing it to me before picking on for himself. I took two quick bites out of it before Gerard spoke.

"Is it good?" He questioned, making me roll my eyes slightly.

"Have a little faith in yourself. It's really good, trust me." He smiled at me before eating his own sandwich. My face scrunches up in disgust as I realize what is on it. Gerard caught this and smiled even more.

"Yes?" He said, his smile never falling.

"How can you eat that?"

"Cause it's good."

"It's tuna."

"You like tuna."

"Yeah but with whip cream? Seriously," I said, finishing off my sandwich.

"You can't say anything bad about something you haven't tried. Want some?" He asked, moving the sandwich to my face. I wrinkle my nose and move away.

"No thanks."

"It's good."

"Maybe another day." Gerard shrugged.

"I'll hold you to that." We continued to eat from the different selection Gerard had laid out, just talking about random stuff. I can't believe he had gone to all this trouble for the first date. It was a shame that the weather screwed up and part of his plan was ruined but he came back in form. It was great either way. To be able to say that my boyfriend had made up a picnic for the first date and even went through with it despite a blizzard makes me all warm inside.

"I can't eat anymore," I sigh, leaning against Gerard as my stomach felt like it was about to burst.

"Well, you nearly devoured all of the Doritos," Gerard laughed.

"Oh, be quiet and hug me." He did as I had asked, well, demanded. He held me close as he looked out of the window.

"The blizzard is still heavy." I turned my head to see that it was, indeed, going strong. The window seemed to have a layer of ice covering it as it was turning white.

"Yeah. It was freezing when I was out there. I still feel slightly numb," I sigh, rubbing my legs. It was true; I could still feel the snow and ice on my legs despite being indoors for a while. Gerard's hand joined mine, resting on my legs and rubbing it.

"You're still cold?" He asked. I nod.

"Well..." Gerard manoeuvred me so I was facing him while still in his arms.

"Let me try and fix that." After saying that, Gerard closed in and captured my mouth with his. His soft lips danced with mine. I could feel tingles going up my body as I closed my eyes and relaxing in his embrace. It doesn't take long for his tongue to swipe across my bottom lip, asking for entrance which I grant him. The battle for dominance started as I allowed my arms to wrap around Gerard's waist to pull him closer.

I feel one of Gerard's hands leave my body but it does not return. I opened one eye to see the hand was lingering over my chest, shaking as if scared on it's own. I see it clutching into a semi fist and moving away. I groan and grabbed his hand, forcing it onto my chest. His eyes opened quickly in shock, staring down at his hand and slowing down the kiss. The kiss soon picked up again, his hand remaining it's position.

Soon, Gerard's lips left mine and trailed across my cheek, down my jaw and relocating to my neck. I surpassed a moan as he began to suck at my neck, his tongue teasing slightly now and again. We haven't gone this far before, despite going out for over a month now. Gerard seemed to have gained confidence since he was assured that touching my chest didn't bother me. I couldn't suppress the moan any longer as Gerard found that spot that made my body shivered. Gerard noticed this as I felt him smile against my neck.

His hand gave a squeeze before leaving my chest, sliding down my stomach and resting on my leg again but now, it began to travel upward, pushing past my dress as it reached my upper thigh.

"Ge...Gerard..." I managed to get out, even it sounded like a moan. I've never felt like this before. It's all so new to me...but I like it.

"Hmm?" He hummed, not breaking off his work at any stage. His lips still attacked my neck as I felt Gerard's hand reach my underwear and began to tug slightly.

"Gerard..." I pleaded. Gerard immediately detached himself from my neck and his hand shot away from me. He looked at me, his eyes wide with worry.

"Andy, I'm sorry. It's just that...you drive me crazy. You know I love you and that will always come first but...it doesn't mean I..."

"Gerard stop." I interrupt yet again. My breath is a little uneasy as my body was still shivering slightly, probably from nerves.

"We've been going out for a while so I know that this was going to come sooner or later but...I don't want to remember my first time being on the floor, no matter where we are," I said. Gerard nodded and looked into my eyes, the hazel colour soft and hazy.

"So...would you want to?" I don't even need to ask what he was talking about. Am I ready for this? Gerard seems to be but maybe he was putting on a brave face for me but that doesn't matter. Some people waited years before giving themselves up while others...waited a few days. It was different for each person. Maybe now is our time. I nod slowly, knowing there was no going back.

"Yeah," I said quietly. Gerard stood up from his place, offering his hand to help me up. I take it and he leads me out of the living room to the stairs down into his bedroom. As we entered, we headed straight for his bed, sitting down on it without speaking for a moment, each of us wondering what to say. I decided to speak first.

"So...I better get my shoes off, huh?" I ask, laughing nervously. Gerard smiled a little. It's obvious that the both of us are really nervous. It's our first time, we are meant to be nervous but it's with that that I am nervous...now I'm not making sense. After my shoes were discarded, Gerard spoke this time.

"I think the rest of our clothes need to come off now," He said. I nod.

"Okay. Could you help with my zip? It's a bitch." Gerard nodded. I turned around so my back was facing Gerard. I felt his hands on my back as the zip went down and Gerard's lips found the back of my neck, kissing it softly as he finished my zip. I sighed as his lips left my neck, making me turn back to him and looking him in the eye once more. I believe my womanly instincts have kicked in now as I only thought of doing one thing.

"Screw it," I state before jumping on Gerard, forcing my lips on his and my legs wrap around his waist. He responded by kissing me hard and wrapping his arms around me. It doesn't take long for our clothes to fly from our bodies and for us to be in our underwear, under the covers, kissing as Gerard fished in his bedside draws for that needed accessory for this time. He soon finds one and shuts the draw, pulling away from me and looking down at me.

"Last chance, are you sure..."

"Quit asking me that and get on with it," I said. Gerard grinned.

"Oh, I think this side of you is very, very sexy." He kissed me again, preparing me for what was to come.

I just hope that I'm good enough for him...


We're both lying side by side, with a thin sheet of sweat on our skins and our breathing heavy. We had done it. We had sex. I still can't grasp that fact. It was...great. Sure, there was the pain at the start but that quickly died down and the good part soon followed. We hadn't spoken at all since Gerard had removed himself from me. What are we meant to say?

"Uh...did we just..." Gerard started, sounding unsure of himself. I finished it for him.

"Yep."

"Ah. Just making sure I wasn't dreaming that or anything." I reach over and pinch him, making him squirm slightly.

"Ow!"

"You're not dreaming." Gerard smiled at me, turning on his side so he could face me. I mimicked his actions.

"So, we had sex," He said. I nod.

"Yep."

"Well...that's new."

"Yeah," I said, my eyes moving around. Was it meant to be this awkward?

"You were...really great," He says, reaching out and running a hand through my hair. I blush a little.

"Thanks. You too." Gerard moves closer to me so he could hold my naked body against his, his arms pinning me to him. I snuggle into the crook of his neck, relaxing myself.

"How about we sleep for a while? I don't know about you but I'm bushed," Gerard said. I nod.

"Yeah, sure."

"We can...take about this some more." I nod once again.

Oh, that was going to be fun.


...My god, that was shit. Sorry, I'm not good at writing stuff like this or anything. Nothing against smut, just can't write it. This is how I imagine those two having sex, like awkward because they have been best friends for years then all of a sudden, they are doing it. They are etremly confused themselves...like myself. Anyway, thank you for reading and such. Reviews are great, a few short of a hundred!...well, twenty odds but still. Thank you again and I'm sorry...again. Bye bye!
